Hardware review: Razer Barracuda Headphones

Hello fellow gamers,
The holidays are here which means at least for me I try to find a "unique" present for myself to play around with to aid me in my boredom. I stopped at CompUsa last weekend and saw the Razer headphones for sale. I brought them home and hooked them up and here is my review...

Setting them up was a total breeze and when you plug the USB 2.0 adapter in you see that the ear cups glow blue (btw, I am a sucker for blue lights) as well as the controller that is attached to them. I turned them on and tested them with Quake 4 and I was shocked that bass was m.i.a. on the map Sturmente! So, the next day I brought them back to the store and it is the first time that Razer has let me down. I will be staying with my Zalmans!!

Pros
1. Really nice packaging
2. Blue lights.. blue lightsss... (mosquito heading to the bug zapper)
3. Headphone build was really nice
4. neat concept of being able to plug in and out your microphone attachment

Cons
1. Bass is D.O.A.
2. The headphones do not "breathe" sound like my Zalmans do.
3. The controller is way to heavy to clip on your shirt (cord should just sit on desk)


until next time...
